    Lethal Pursuer and whatever else I feel like. Usually Corrupt Intervention, LP actually gets me value out of that perk. Sometimes I use Ruin instead, it's also good for knowing who is closest to your totem.. The ability to be in a chase in seconds and know wher everyone is and what they are doing for the first minute of the trial is borderline broken.

    I think I'm running Lethal Pursuer/Corrupt Intervention/Infectious Fright/BBQ on Demogorgon at the moment.

    Edit: Wait, no, I'm using Enduring instead of BBQ. Don't need bonus point sin an event.

    It’s a very strong perk on Myers, Ghostface, Huntress, Blight, etc who can easily damage survivors far away, or need to find survivors early in the match to stalk. I see it pretty often, it’s definitely one of the most common perks right now I’d say. Only good on competent killers, however.

    Lethal Pursuer is useful on some killers that need an aggressive early game, such as: Plague, Oni, Legion, Nemesis, Ghostface, and Meyers. Where the ability to find a survivor quickly can strongly impact your power in the early game.


    I'd use it in the place of Corrupt Intervention in a build.

    how effective is that build? I wanna try playing demo but don’t have any good build on him.

    I've been using it with corrupt as I find regression perks like Pop and Ruin very boring to use. It helps make the early game more fun.

    I use Lethal Pursuer in the absence of Discordance.

    Discordance will just provide better and more tactical information over the course of the match, and most games survivors will group on gens within the first 10 seconds anyways so you know where to pack a punch.

    well actually i feel still there's a lot of better perk other than lethal pursuer since usually i initiate chase pretty quick on game start, unless I'm running it as meme build

    Well, it's probably not for beginners unless you want to learn the hard way, but then again I dont actually know if Demogorgon has an "easy" way since I basically learned to play him with no good perks.

    Basically, LP and Corrupt give you a good early game, and it's all on you from there.

    I’m using it on Spirit and Nemesis right now. It’s actually very solid.

    lol i forgot spirit exist, already quite long time i didnt play her, yeah i think spirit or wraith maybe really good having lethal pursuer, thanks will try again for wraith

    I haven't played any matches with it since I've mainly been playing survivor lately, but I've seen plenty of killers using it. Had a game against a Huntress where she sniped someone across the map within the first ten seconds LMAO

    I play it offten and I love how it saves so much time by not have to quess where Survivors spawned (if you choose unlucky, on some maps you can get gen allready popped and you don't even start a chase lol).

    Also every recent game with Ghostface I get 1st down thanks to this perk within a 1 min of the match. Rly good value.

    Also good for Hag to see if a survivor is heading towards you, because you want to set up some traps before they find out who the killer is. So can be used for aggressive and defensive reasons.

    Lethal Pursuer on Billy is quite something, I have to say...

    I use it a lot, and I've been enjoying it.

    I'm an aggressive sort of killer so it's a decent option on my Spirit, Legion, Plague and Oni.

    It's nice because I feel like I can substitute Hex:Undying out for lethal pursuer for the likes of Spirit. I have the luxury of zeroing in on the guy near Ruin, or avoid the totem completely knowing it's in good hands.

    I've used it on Mikey and its basically a guaranteed instant tier 2.

  • Patrick1088

    I think its good for maps with non usual spawn for survivors (i.e. Haddonfield) and for killers with high mobility that can get to the survivors quickly. I think Nurse, Wraith and Spirit can take great advantage of LP. I think in general you will need more longevity since you are working 1 perk short all match. LP/Corrupt Intervention/BBQ/NOED. this will give you a stronger early game, some longevity with BBQ and a back up strategy with NOED.

    I like playing as Doctor, Demo and Myers. I use Whispers very effectively so I don't see the value of a perk that lasts 10s. If they run Distortion or OoO then your perk got countered.

    oh my god, how did I forget to mention mookel lmao. Lethal Pursuer is simply amazeballs on him. The first time I ever used it was on Hawkins, and the survivors all spawned in the portal room gen. I stalked them through the glass for 2.5 Evil Within as Tombstone Myers... that perk is simply never coming off

  • MadLordJack

    Which is also why I don't use STBFL and never really did. Good survivors force you to shred.

    Used it once, got my adept, haven't used it since.

    any stealth killer or low terror radius killer will benefit greatly from this perk, so I would advise try using it on a killer like ghost face or wraith to get the most value out of it as they would benefit from the zero terror radius and early game hook if you down them quick.

    I love the perk. You already have an idea of how the game will go 10 seconds into a match. Plus, you have all the game knowledge you need to get a decent start -- which is the weakest part of a killer's game.

  • nursewannabe
    nursewannabe Member Posts: 1,075

    I think it's a solid perk on a lot of killers. I don't really want to buy nemesis, so I'm hoping it'll appear on one of these event shrines, but i doubt it

  • EQWashu
    EQWashu Member Posts: 5,105

    I haven't really tried making a build around it yet, but after I got the teachable off of Nemesis, I've been trying it on whatever killers have gotten it on their bloodwebs. Thus far I had very good luck using it on Ghost Face to ambush (seeing which direction they are heading to stealth over), other killers I don't know if I would continue running it on them over something else, but I really do like it tells me a general direction survivors are starting to head towards.

    I used Lethal Pursuer a few times and while it was pretty interesting and gave me a good advantage at the start of the game, It still left me without a 4th perk slot. Since I like to use Corrupt in nearly every build it means I'm stuck with just two perks after 2 minutes into the game


    Its just too much of a downside for my playstyle and the perk variety I like to use. But it is a solid perk, just not for me

  • RenRen
    RenRen Member Posts: 1,443

    I only use Lethal Pursuer on Micheal so I can get out of tier 1 fast. Outside of Micheal I don't use it on anyone else. It's not that bad of a perk but it literally lasts 9 seconds and then you have 3 perks.
